Inspired by an authentic pre-Prohibition recipe, this bold, hoppy and balanced lager derives its bold taste by using a rare combination of hops including Hersbrucker and Strisslespalt. Hersbrucker hops provide herbal notes and Strisslespalt hops deliver notes of black currant. We are aware of no brewer in America who uses this combination today. Deep-gold in color, naturally filtered and unpasteurized, Batch 19 has 26 IBUs and an assertive 5.5% ABV.

I’m a bit of a beer snob myself, and like Bill in GF I’m not against tipping back a Blue Moon now and then. Any beer snob needs to remember their roots sometimes. We all started off with much worse than Blue Moon I’m sure.
